Here we have a Congressman from another district taking up for someone else, but is she really looking after your real long-term interest?

The pump to the river option has a fatal flaw in its design; it has to raise the water much more than pumping to the river and does not expose the community from backflow from the river. The long-term costs to pump the same water almost ten more feet up will cost you more in ten years than any savings. The old guys 100 plus years ago were right in their design. You really do not want to mess with the Mississippi River we seem to be barely able to control the situation at the lakefront.

The problem is that whatever systems are installed require maintenance; we are not too good at maintenance. That means keeping the trees and pools away from the levees and keeping them at height. Just think what would have happened if the Mississippi River had poured into New Orleans.

By the way, I have dozens of incandescent bulbs that use lots of electricity that I will give them to you free. They use their worth in electricity in days of use while their florescent cousins save me dollars. No exposed wire it they break either, safer.

Riley like Ray Ray suffer from delusions of grandeur and the inability to see the truth or handle the truth. They are collectively more dangerous than all of the untrained and misguided youth that perpetuate the crime statistics. Both are products of the New Orleans system of "Making Excuses" and "Not Seeing the Obvious". Just plainly, "They Can't Handle the Truth". Nor can they handle their jobs.

NineauBrown is one of the scabs that formed around the wound made by Ray Ray's injury to New Orleans sense of pride and appreciation of fair play. Just as I hinted at in my earlier note, the excuse "But I'm not as bad as the others" does not fly. Therefore, friends of Ray Ray, stop justifying Ray Ray's Wrong Doings.

Everyone can see that Ray Ray is wounded. Just because the sharks are feeding on the dead carcass it does not mean that he (Ray Ray) should be pitted. There is blood in the water. Eat heartily.

Ray Ray is a liar and thief. Most businesses pay, not the mayor, who is the one being courted by business. What this means is that he is entertaining his staff and others, most of the twice a day means that are listed. One would be fat if he ate that much or maybe Ray Ray is paying for other than food; maybe future food or pay for play.

Ray Ray missed the opportunity to be a "Famous Mayor" and instead opted to become an "Infamous Mayor".

Instead of pushing for attention from the Feds three plus years ago, he instead opted to promote himself and garner profit for himself.

Instead of hiring people of character and conscience, he hired and promoted "buffoons and swindlers" who looted the government coffers.

Instead of improving on what was he hides behind comparisons to "its is not worse than".

Ray Ray is an "Abysmal Failure". He is what all future Mayors will compare themselves when their public opinion polls are low; "But I am not as bad a Ray Ray".

The facts are that Ray-Ray can't handle the truths. The truths that if revealed would place him in jeopardy of diminished reputation, imprisonment and fine.

Ray-Ray is a "Sociopath" he is incapable of admitting to himself or to others his wrongs; because he does not and cannot see the truth. Sociopaths always think that the other guy is to blame for all his failures. The man is blind to the truth. Most people like this are in prison or on their way to prison; so i guess that he is on his way to prison or other ruination.

The bad part is that his ruination comes after he has ruined the good name of New Orleans and made it the laughing point of most of the world; of course many third world countries still look up to us.

It appears that the "stonewalling", a tradition of the Bush Administration, is being reviewed and will soon come to a stop. All of this in only 6-weeks, I just wonder what good things will come about over the next 6-weeks; trials for Bush's liars, cheats and puns? Oh my!!!

The diatribe that is coming from you is straight from Rush’s mouth. Facts and figures; who cares about them; I know!!! Rush told me.

In reality; and after the first wash we can see that you have linked conservatism and the working class. Where the working class is good and those that you do not like are bad people, thus do not work. The facts prove other wise. Most people work and pay taxes. Some of use can afford to skip our tax payments, but we are usually wealth and can afford lawyers to pay for the theft of taxes, own a business and write off everything as a business expense to avoid paying taxes or we claim to pay more than actually do.

I figure that you are the latter. You are setting at home, unemployed or retired, over weight or morbidly obese, mad at the world because you did not land at a higher place in life and have some ethnic group that you pick on because you can. You are a bully and a coward. You are afraid to confront your inner fears because you know that you are a failure.

FunnyLooking are you working at this moment or are you waiting for the bar to open so you can go to work. This is bar talk. Argue our point. We are waiting to hear some words not part of the “Rush Hour” routine”. Let’s hear where YOU stand, not Rush.

FunnyLooking, people that are well off may listen to Rush, but surely do not say that they do and espouse his FunnySounding rhetoric; that has no logic or basis in fact.

I bet I pay more taxes than you make in total salary. You pathetic pun

You must be reading and sharing my writings with the people that are in the asylum with you. Only a "Nut Case" would take a simple error and turn it into a battle of wills. You obviously have not had many fights (through words or fist). Otherwise you would know when to "hold them and when to fold them". You have met your match (either way). You lost I won. Get your facts straight on Workman’s Compensation. Stop pretending to know what you do not have a clue about.

I am leaving this post in a few minutes and you can continue to spread falsehoods, lies and misdirection, after I leave.

You appear to be a Republican. I say this not because you have stated your alignment, but because you are uninformed of the facts and gravitate to talking about what you do not know and politicizing things by altering the truths of a matter to fit the “little mindedness” of a political ideology that is dysfunctional. You may dear man are a “Loser” in many ways. You have lost “your ability to reason” as an individual. You have lost your ability to see and hear what others are saying because you do not listen (which takes reasoning and thought). You have lost your ability to feel for others and provide help to them when they are in need (it does not matter if they caused the problem, you are in the boat with them). You just don’t get it. You have lost your way in life.

I live mine by being and acting everyday as if I were Jesus Christ. What would he do? (I am not professing theology here). But I am professing that you need to pull together for the common good. You need to find a guiding light and start following it and not Rush.

I can't wait until 99% of the people in America looking for work have a job and pay taxes. I can't wait until the economy is functional and interest rates are low and inflations non-existent. I can't wait until the National Debt is reduced from all the taxes paid by all of the successful business. Just like what happened in the 1950's after WWII.

The dynamics of the economy is a funny thing. Big stuff becomes little stuff when the economy is working and people are not stealing from the American Citizenry, through unneeded contracts, "Good Ole Boy" deals and de-regulation that cause windfall profits to the rich and sorrow for the people.

You appear to have no real knowledge of the “Recovery Act”, nor do you have knowledge of your states Workman’s Compensation Program. If you have been paying or Workman’s Compensation claims for people that “quit or were terminated for cause”, them you have been paying when you should not have been paying resulting in higher premiums for your business. If you had run a business then you would know this; thus, it is most probable that you are a “Pretender”. Pretending to know what you have no knowledge. Come back when you have read the law and regulations that cover Workman’s Compensation or go to your local Workman’s Compensation office and try to make a claim. The question “whether you quit or were fired for cause” determines whether you get compensation.

You need to read the wording of the bill. People that quit, either part-time are full-time have never been able to claim unemployment. The states operate and regulate their Workman Compensations Systems and the qualifications are dependent on the states programs language. Read the bill.
